About
About Sitia
Three of the seven sailings recorded at Sitia leave between 01:15 and 02:05. The Friday boat to Heraklion goes at 01:15, the Tuesday one to Piraeus at 01:55, the Thursday at 02:05. Add the 22:45 arrival from Kasos and most of this port's working week happens in the dark.
Blue Star Ferries operates all of it. Piraeus takes 690 to 750 minutes outbound and 810 inbound on the single Monday sailing; Heraklion is 135 minutes along the coast; Kasos, out towards the Dodecanese, is 120.
Sitia sits at the far eastern end of Crete, which is exactly why the times look like this: a ship working the long Piraeus–Crete–Dodecanese chain reaches this corner in the middle of the night whichever direction it is going. The town's hinterland produces a protected-designation olive oil, and the palm forest at Vai further east is the largest natural stand of its kind in Europe.
